Shipping containers can easily hold out against windspeeds of up to 175mp/h (281km/h) when anchored with pylons...which is easily done. Every building should have suitable foundations whether it be from used shipping containers or a traditional build.

One of the key benefits to using a shipping container is that it already comes with walls floors and a roof! With the help of architects and designers you can look to combine multiple containers into a single dwelling - through appropriate planning and design windows doors and fascias are added to make the finished product resemble something more akin to a modern house.

The shipping container home theme is getting larger and growing evermore each and every day. There are now over half a million containers in places all over the globe. Usually seen in docking ports by airports when you cruise by on major highways near big popular cities you always seem to notice gigantic stacks of shipping containers which are piled up rotting away to basically nothing but scrap metal garbage. Todaythere are many more ingenious architects then there were in the past including construction workers and builders whom are all recycling these containers and engineering container houses and low income dwellings out of these amazing useful metal boxes.
